No pony is the same after witnessing a work-related death, no matter who they are. The victim was young, eager, fresh-faced, and recently hired. In his last breaths, he let out a scream so heart-rending that the employees who heard it had difficulty sleeping that night. And Rainbow Dash was no exception.

But she's not losing sleep over that. What disturbs her is something far worse—something she said afterwards.

After the events of the Mmmystery on the Friendship Express, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash decide to find a gift to show Pinkie just how sorry they are. However, gift giving is harder than it looks, especially when three friends have to agree on what to get.

It's a few weeks before summer, and Ponyville is at it's calmest. That is, until Big Macintosh and Rainbow Dash announce that they are dating. No big deal though, it's just some mildly shocking news. How will their friends and family react? How will the whole town react? One thing's for certain, nothing bad will come of this at all, in any shape or form. That is guaranteed.

...Right?

============================================================================
Please take note that the story 'Rainbow Factory' MUST have been read to understand this story. 'Pegasus Device' on the other end, doesn't need to have been read. This was just a silly idea I thought that would be worth writing out. I want to thank a friend of mine, Miles, for letting me come up with the idea on 10-30-2012.

On the eve of Nightmare Night, Rainbow Dash is finally poised to enact her dastardly, clever and awesome plan. The goal? To scare Pinkie Pie right into her embrace so she can admit that she fancies her.

Saying things do not go according to plan is probably redundant.

Rainbow Dash takes Fluttershy to get her license renewed.
Bossy government employees. Speeding tickets. License photos.
There's only one way for this to end:
Hijinks and hilarity.

The thing about loyalty... the thing about loyalty is that sometimes you don't know where your loyalties lie.
Have I always been loyal to my friends? No. There are things that they didn't know about me. Lots of secrets from the past that I've kept from everypony. I had a past full of disgrace, shame, and loneliness. Things that I wish had never happened. Only a few ponies know the truth. But I could only keep my past away for so long...

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are preparing a practice course for the Best Young Fliers Competition, when a small problem causes the stressed out cyan pegasus to lash out at her friend. Fluttershy decides she's had enough and gives Rainbow Dash a verbal beatdown, as well as "the stare."

Both pegasi feel guilty about what happened and are convinced that they've ruined their friendship. Will they be able to make it up to each other?
